Russian freestyle wrestler Imam Ganishov has come under scrutiny for his involvement in visiting the occupied territory of Ukraine, which is under Russian control. It has been reported that Ganishov has developed friendly relations with an individual linked to the Russian occupying forces in Ukraine, engaging in military activities as part of the Russian annexation. These actions have raised concerns within the international sports community, leading to calls for Ganishov's suspension from international competitions.

The affiliations of Ganishov with individuals linked to the Russian occupying forces have raised questions regarding the principles of fair play and international sportsmanship. Stakeholders and officials should deliberate on the appropriate course of action, with the possibility of Ganiev facing suspension from participating in international wrestling events pending further investigation.
